Mrs Patricia Newman has been an incredible support to both of my children, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the impact she’s had on their learning journeys. From the moment we started with her, it was clear she’s not only passionate about teaching but also deeply professional and knowledgeable. She thoroughly understands the National Curriculum and knows precisely how to tailor her approach to suit each child’s individual needs.
My eldest child worked with Patricia for just a few months, and the results were beyond what we hoped for—she achieved excellent SATs results in English comprehension and writing.
My younger child, who will be moving into Year 3 this September, has been struggling with phonics. Patricia stepped in with such care and expertise, identifying the gaps and helping her build a solid foundation. Now, she fully understands her phonics, and it’s made an enormous difference in her reading and writing.
Welcome to the Grantham First Class Learning Centre. We support children in the local community with Maths and English tuition.
Through our structured programmes, we personalise each child’s learning path, which is targeted to fill any existing gaps in their understanding and promote development of existing knowledge. This helps with their schoolwork, builds confidence, and develops independent learning skills.
Our programmes are flexible and tailored to learners' individual needs and abilities, so students move on only when they are confident with a topic. Regular testing ensures that the best possible progress is made. The 'little and often' approach, with plenty of repetition and practice, really does make a huge difference.
The first step is to arrange a free assessment of your child (or children) at the Grantham Centre. The Centre Manager (Patricia Newman), or the Maths tutor (Steven Newman), will assist your child to complete the English and Maths assessment tests. Each test takes approximately 30 minutes. Following your child's assessment, we will provide a personalised learning programme for their tuition. Your child will then attend a class at the Centre once per week, on Saturdays, during the Centre's opening times. Each subject class lasts around 30 minutes. At the Centre, your child will learn and will be given work to do to consolidate what they have learnt. Between the weekly Centre visits, your child will be given a programme of daily homework tasks, to practice the skills learnt. These take approximately 10 to 15 minutes per day, and are submitted at the next class. They are marked and returned with informative feedback. We revisit and strengthen any continuing areas of weakness to ensure that vital progress is made. We will also supply handbooks, as we encourage students to mark their work. This boosts their independent skills and helps them to identify any mistakes. It is our philosophy to encourage independent working, with a tutor at hand at the Centre to help. We are committed to helping your child succeed, and we will keep you appraised of your child's progress.
